There are no spaces in the directory names. the .icc file is in the
profiles directory in my home directory. I can navigate to that
directory, but for some reason the file is not found. I see it in
Konqueror. I have a tar file in the downloads directory. When I hover
over it, the file info pops up and says the type of file is a tar file.
So much for the windows thing, but I'm not argueing with you, I'm just
trying to understand this new operating system and I'm bound to ask some
pretty ignorant questions as I make the transition from Windows to
Linux. Please bear with me. The learning curve is very steep and I'm
trying to play catch up.
I just did the ls -al profiles thing and it found two files in the
directory. One of them being the .icc file. Help me understand why
when I try to copy it to the RGB Profiles directory it can't be found?
Would maybe moving it help, or am I just whistling Dixie?
